Najafgarh ‘Reels’ Killing: Accused Husband Dies in Hospital

Police attribute the conflict to frequent disputes over the wife's Instagram activity, with forensic and digital inquiries underway.

Overview

  • Police received a 4:23 am PCR call on Tuesday and found 30-year-old Rajni dead in the Najafgarh flat, while her husband Aman was rescued after ingesting poison and attempting to hang himself.
  • Aman was first taken to Rao Tula Ram Memorial Hospital and later referred to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, where he died on Wednesday afternoon, the Dwarka DCP said.
  • A murder case has been registered, the woman’s body has been preserved for post-mortem, and investigators have seized the couple’s mobile phones and are recording witness statements.
  • Initial accounts from police and neighbours describe frequent quarrels and prior alleged assaults tied to the wife’s short-video posts on Instagram, where she had roughly 6,000 followers.
  • The couple, originally from Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh, had lived in a rented Old Roshanpura flat since April with their two sons, aged nine and five.
